Summary:

Dark, mysterious and sensual, Vampirella (Talisa Soto) is a princess from the planet Draculon. Like all vampires, she needs blood to live, but she will not kill to get it - a synthetic substitute keeps her alive. After journeying across space and time seeking vengeance for her father's brutal murder, she now finds herself on Earth, in Las Vegas, where her enemy Vlad (Roger Daltry) has disguised himself as a rock star. In order to stop Vlad's doomsday plan for world domination, Vampirella must make a dangerous alliance with a group of hi-tech vampire hunters. It's a race to stop the apocalypse of humanity and our fate is in the hands of the fiery, dangerous and beautiful Vampirella.

Our Ranking

short review:

Well, let's see what we've got here: a Vampire/Science-Fiction movie, based on a comic series (created by Forrest J. Ackerman); featuring "THE WHO's" Roger Daltrey (who even performs a song during the film!) as the villain. Plus: a beautiful vampire-heroine in some hot costume. Sounds really intriguing. But - but it's only a B-movie with a crude storyline, B-movie actors, and the Sci-Fi scenes are, well... not so well done. It's not really bad, but not far as good as the contents promised.
